Your local Starbucks is hoping to become your local bar and purveyor of small plates.

Since 2012, Starbucks has been slowly rolling out its beer, wine and small plates service called Starbucks Evenings to locations outside of its Pacific Northwest base. They serve dessert as well as savory items, like flatbread, spinach dip, and truffle mac & cheese, paired with sparkling wine and craft beer. It’s millennial catnip, basically. But it has only recently reached the East Coast. And now Starbucks Evenings is coming for D.C. and the surrounding suburbs.

The company has its eye on rolling out its booze service to five locations in D.C., according to the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration as first reported by Borderstan.

Here are the locations applying for permits:

  • 443 Seventh St. NW in Penn Quarter
  • 1700 Connecticut Ave. NW, north of Dupont Circle
  • 5500 Connecticut Ave. NW in Chevy Chase
  • 1810 Wisconsin Ave. NW in Georgetown
  • 1301 Connecticut Ave. NW, just south of Dupont Circle
  • The Washington Business Journal notes that these locations show that the company is trying to test different sorts of neighborhoods, including ones serving business people, tourists and residents.

    Starbucks Evenings is also planning on expanding into Northern Virginia. Fredericksburg Patch reports that Starbucks has applied for permits at the following 13 locations:
